Master Your iPhone 17’s Dual SIM Power for Travel
The true magic of the iPhone 17 Pro Max dual SIM capability shines when you’re abroad. It allows you to use your primary number (from your home carrier) and your Yoho Mobile travel eSIM simultaneously. No more swapping SIM cards or missing important calls and texts.
Configuring Your Lines
Once your Yoho Mobile eSIM is installed, you can label your plans in Settings > Cellular. For example, you can name your home plan ‘Primary’ and your Yoho Mobile plan ‘Travel’.
You can then choose which line to use for specific functions:
- Default Voice Line: Set to ‘Primary’ to make and receive calls with your home number.
- iMessage & FaceTime: Keep this set to your ‘Primary’ number so your contacts can reach you as usual.
- Cellular Data: This is the key! Set this to ‘Travel’ (your Yoho Mobile eSIM) to use our affordable, high-speed data and avoid your home carrier’s roaming charges.
This setup provides the best of both worlds: full access to your home number for calls and texts, and high-speed local data through your Yoho Mobile eSIM. For a deep dive into the technology, check out the official GSMA overview of eSIM technology.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes! For all iOS devices, our streamlined process eliminates the need for QR codes. After purchasing your plan, a simple tap on the ‘Install’ button initiates the native iOS setup, which typically completes in under a minute, making it one of the fastest activation experiences available.
Q: Can I use my home number for calls while using Yoho Mobile data on my iPhone 17 Pro Max dual SIM?
Absolutely. That’s a primary benefit of dual SIM. You can set your Yoho Mobile eSIM as the designated line for cellular data while keeping your home line active for voice calls, SMS, and services like iMessage and WhatsApp. This setup is perfect for using dual SIM with a travel eSIM in Europe or anywhere else in the world.
Q: What happens if I use all my data? Do I have to buy a new eSIM?
No, you don’t need a new eSIM. You can easily perform a manual top-up on your existing plan through your Yoho Mobile account. Furthermore, our Yoho Care service ensures you have a basic data connection for essentials even if your plan runs out, so you’re never left stranded.
Q: Do I need to have my phone unlocked to use a Yoho Mobile eSIM?
Yes, your iPhone 17 must be carrier-unlocked to use an eSIM from a different provider. Most phones purchased directly from Apple are unlocked.
